The Bhagavad said, "He who performs his bounden action without depending on its fruit is the man of renunciation and the man of Yoga, not he who simply remains without his fires and actions."
"Lord Shri Krishna said: He who acts because it is his duty, not thinking of the consequences, is really spiritual and a true ascetic; and not he who merely observes rituals or who shuns all action.
The Lord said He who performs works that ought to be done without seeking their fruits - he is a Sannyasin and Yogin, and not he who maintains no sacred fires and performs no actions.
The Blessed Lord said He who performs an action which is his duty, without depending on the result of action, he is a monk and a yogi; (but) not (so in) he who does not keep a fire and is actionless.
He who performs his bounden duty without depending on the fruits of his actions–he is a Sannyasin and a Yogi, not he who is without fire and without action.

For a sage, who is desirous of mounting upon the Yoga, action is said to be the cause; for the same sage, when he has mounted upon the Yoga, stillness is said to be the cause.
For the sage who seeks the heights of spiritual meditation, practice is the only method, and when he has attained them, he must maintain himself there by continual self-control.
Action is said to be the means for the sage who seeks to climb the heights of Yoga; but when he has climbed the heights of Yoga, tranquillity is said to be the means.
For the sage who wishes to ascend to (Dhyana-) yoga, action is said to be the means. For that person, when he has ascended to (Dhyana-)yoga, inaction alone is said to be the means.
For a sage who wishes to attain to Yoga, action is said to be the means; for the same sage who has attained to Yoga, inaction (quiescence) is said to be the means.

What the learned call renunciation, O son of Pandu, know that to be the same as the Yoga. For, without renouncing intention for fruit, one does not become a man of Yoga.
O Arjuna! Renunciation is in fact what is called Right Action. No one can become spiritual who has not renounced all desire.
That which is called Sannyasa (Jnana Yoga), know that to be Yoga (Karma Yoga), O Arjuna. For (among Karma Yogins) no one whose delusive identification of the body with the self is not abandoned, becomes a true Karma Yogin.
That which they call monasticism, know that to be Yoga, O Pandava, For, nobody who has not given up expectations can be a yogi.
Do thou, O Arjuna, know Yoga to be that which they call renunciation; no one verily becomes a Yogi who has not renounced thoughts!
